You can also use this time to undertake risky side missions that have big rewards, like additional ammo or Walker Gears. This is where cooperative strategizing and communication become important – you don’t want all four sol-diers chasing a side objective, since that approach is likely to leave your base ill-defended for the next wave. While these moments add some vari-ety to the structure, the basic rhythm is familiar: Your team sets up your traps, fights a wave of zombies, and then sets up more traps for a harder wave. Konami says Metal Gear Survive also has a single-player campaign, and it involves tasks like building a base camp and collecting resources. However, the cooperative multiplayer is the only mode the company has shown in action so far. A 20-minute demo is not enough to completely restore my faith in the Metal Gear brand. My short time with Metal Gear Survive was entertaining, but that experience doesn’t include the previews match -to-match progression that needs to keep players hooked. I’m also not sure who those players will be; this depar-ture doesn’t seem Metal Gear enough to attract diehard fans, and the wave-based survival mode I played is similar to what other shooters offer. However, even with those reservations, my opinion of Metal Gear Survive definitely improved after playing it for myself. » Joe Juba Watch an episode of the Game Informer Show for more impressions of Metal Gear Survive from E3 2017
